Automatic Process From Washing To Drying.
Automatic process from washing to drying can be selected easily.
More economical by Intelligent Wash System
Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water
temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and
washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.
Direct Drive System
The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without
belt and pulley.
Child-Lock
The Child-Lock prevents children from pressing any button to
change the settings during operation.
Built-in Heater
Internal heater automatically heats the water to the best
temperature on selected cycles.
Low noise speed control system
By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes
load to minimize the spinning noise level.
Auto Restart
If the washing machine is turned off by a power failure, it will restart
automatically from the position it stopped at adjusting accordingly.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING!
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using the
washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to prevent children
from hiding inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will
be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Interior of washer and condensing duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service
personnel.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your
dryer, Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause
a load to catch fire.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the
washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING :
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The appliance is fitted with shipping bolts
to prevent internal damage during
transport.
• Packing and all shipping bolts must be
removed before using the washer.
When unpacking the base, be sure to
remove the additional packing support
in the middle of the base packing.
Shipping bolts
Install or store unit where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or
exposed to outside weather conditions.
Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the washer in humid spaces.
The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a
carpeted floor.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in clean condition at
all times.
Damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance warranty.
Removing shipping bolts
1. To prevent internal damage during
transport, 4 locking bolts are
installed. Before operating the
washer, remove the bolts.
• If they are not removed, it may cause
severe vibration, noise, and
malfunction.
2. Unscrew the 4 bolts with the wrench
supplied.
3. Take out the 4 bolts by twisting the
braces slightly. Keep the 4 bolts and
the wrench for future use.

Level floor
Allowable slope under entire washer is 1˚.
Power outlet
Must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either
side of the washer. Do not overload the
outlet with more than one appliance.
Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
It is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer
to have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Minimum installation spacing
• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all
sides of the washer is recommended to
reduce noise transfer.
• Most installations require a minimum 4 in.
(10 cm) clearance behind the washer.
• Companion appliance spacing should also
be considered.
Installation place requirement
Positioning
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly
constructed floor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-loading washer than to a top-loader.
If your floor is wood and/or frame construction, you may need to reinforce it. Frontloaders use substantially faster spin speeds than top-loaders, causing greater
vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel the
vibration throughout your house.

hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than
145 PSI, a pressure reducing device should
be installed.
• Two Sealing washers are supplied with the
water inlet hoses to prevent water leaks.
• Check for leakage of washing machine
connections by turning the tap completely on.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose
and replace the hose if necessary.
